Henry talked publicly for the first time about Remy's return to the broadcast booth.

"I've told him, all of us in Red Sox Nation stand behind him," he said. "It's a terrible thing he's been going through, but we're really glad to have him back."

The comments come on the day Remy was in a Cambridge courthouse seeking custody of his 5-year-old granddaughter, and just days after an explosive article in the Boston Globe, the paper Henry now owns, documenting how Remy's son Jared skirted the court system for years with the help of a high-powered attorney paid for by his father.

Jared Remy is now awaiting trial in the murder of his girlfriend Jennifer Martel. Both families have been locked in a custody battle over the couple's daughter Arianna. Jared Remy has pleaded not guilty.

A judge ruled Tuesday that the child will be in the guardianship of the Martel family, also spending time with the Remys.

Some question whether Jerry Remy can, or should, return to the broadcast booth.

The longtime announcer told NewsCenter 5 in January that he wanted to try, unless the Martel family asked him not to.
